by 1937, franklin roosevelt knew what the new deal was about. his second inaugural address was much more specific and is really arguing for continuing the crusade. it is his speech about seeing one-third of the nation still ill fed and ill clothed. second inaugurations are often much more pointed as far as the president is concerned. what should you look for in his inauguration? it is going to be a coming together. it is going to be the legislative branch hosting, the chief executive sworn in by the chief justice of the supreme court. huge numbers of the public will be there to see what is going on. i think the fact that congress continues to hold these inaugurations is a sign that we're coming together. as a historian, i never like to predict the future. i tell people i like to predict the past. i will absolutely predict monday's inaugural address will and the way i am going to end right now, which is thank you, god bless you, and god bless america.

standing in this same place a third of a century ago, franklin delano roosevelt addressed a nation ravaged by depression and gripped in fear. he could say in surveying the nation's troubles -- "they concern, thank god, only material things." our crisis today is in reverse. we find ourselves rich in goods, but ragged in spirit, reaching with magnificent precision for the moon, but failing into raucous discord on earth. we are caught in war, wanting peace. we are torn by division, wanting unity. we see around us empty lives, wanting fulfillment. we see tasks that need doing, waiting for hands to do them. to a crisis of the spirit, we need an answer of the spirit. and to find that answer, we need only look within ourselves. when we listen to "the better angels of our nature," we find that they celebrate the simple things, the basic things -- such as goodness, decency, love, kindness. greatness comes in simple trappings. the simple things are the ones most needed today if we are to surmount what divides us, and cement what unites us. to lower our voices would be a simple thing. in these diffic
